Watching this video reminds me of the 4 Disciplines of Execution. Basically the same idea. Figure out the outcome and then figure out the leading measures (behaviors or habits) that will get you there. 4DX is something I’m using at work right now to put forth the majority of my energy to making changes to the things…

They make it seem that way and tell you all the ways that unions are bad for you. Trust me Wal-Mart won’t shut down just because they pay a living wage. They are a huge corparation and can afford it. If you’d like an example of how big retailers could pay better and still have enough to pay there top bosses tons of…

Me too, more bright and awesome colors are needed. I'm digging that red roof inn that white body.

True, but his automotive follys are fodder for his stories. Most of us have a 9-5 which is why we need reliable transportation. If I were in his shoes I’d have some truly awesome but unreliable vehicles.

That’s the way I understand it as well. The Renegade even uses a limited slip that’s not a limited slip. It just engages the brakes on the wheel that is spinning to send power to the wheel that isn't. Then again, I used to think of 4wd as also having a low range. The fancy awd system in the Trailhawk Renegade even has…

I always had an easier time turning my Cherokee XJ when I was in 4wd vs. 2wd. There is definitely something to be said about the front wheels pulling you in the direction you are turning.

I try to go in treating the salesperson with the same respect I expect. I bought a car last month and had a few emails back and forth during the week. I then came in at 9 AM right when the dealership opened and asked for him. He was running a few minutes late so the manager gave me the key to go check it out. He comes…

No, nope, no way. This is BS. One of the costs of running a business is having insurance. If your business is cars it is having insurance that covers driving those cars. This is not acceptable. 

I’d bet Pie is required. But I’m not sure. This is one of the things I love about having a Google phone. I get all the cool new features first. My last 3 phones have been a Nexus 5, Nexus 5x, and currently a Pixel 2.

I got out of sales and into the service industry. Of course we are now required to sell to our customers to boost our bottom line. I love it when one of our technicians tells me they are going to buy once they get paid. I tell them the above and they never seen to believe me.

This is it. When I sold I had no problem killing time with you Tuesday morning. But it was an entirely different story on game day. Our dealership had a hat trick bonus for 3 sold and the only way to get that done was sell a car first thing Saturday morning and hope there were no tire kickers the rest of the day.

I haven’t tried it but have considered renting from Turo for just this reason. But in my area it is hard to rent specific vehicles even on Turo. It’s all good and fine if you want a Corolla, Altima, or Chevy Trax. I shiver thinking of that last one. I actually went from a Challenger RT rental to one of those when my…

Sad fact but true. I try not to steal time from sales people when they could be making a sale. For example, I may test drive a few models before I’m ready to buy. The test drives are done during the week and typically at slow times. When I was ready to buy I had no problem going in on Saturday.

This frustrates me. But, I get where you are coming from, when I sold cars I almost always went along to build rapport gauge their interest etc. But different strokes for different folks. I really, seriously don’t want to have to entertain a sales person while I’m trying to drive the car and get a feel for it. But…

Donuts, that's how I learned to drive in snow. That and controlled slides. In my old Jeep I could drive it sideways through the s curve near my house. Always fun freaking people out that way but I already knew it would do that from having fun in empty parking lots.

Fellow person from the region here. Let’s see, even with the light dusting of snow a couple days this past week I saw cars in ditches, an SUV flipped on RT. 30 and I had a terrible time getting my fwd going and keeping any traction. After Thursday’s commute to work I looked into winter tires for my car but after…

Yes, maybe. I know there is a setting that I enabled on my phone to stop auto play but where that is, no clue. I just know it works.

I like it. I'll take mine pre owned with some of that fantastic Hyundai depreciation please 

This new Dodge Dart looks grounded to the ground.

I never realized how much it really sped up the buying process and how much easier pre approval makes it. I pre approved through the local CU and gave the dealership the chance to beat or match and they couldn’t. It reduced the F&I shenanigans to a minimum and we were only with the F&I person for maybe 15 minutes, all…
